According to legend, a resourceful bride won a stay of execution by captivating a sultan with a series of fantastic tales-and after 1, 001 nights, the sultan could not bear to part with his storyteller. More than a thousand years later, readers continue to fall under the spell of the romantic adventures known as the Arabian Nights.
